If you want to raid as a DPS Paladin, it's pretty much obvious that you have to choose the Retribution spec. However, there are talents that aren't very useful for PvE DPS, from the Retribution line. So, here's a short Paladin guide for specializing your Pally for DPS.
Of course, since most of the talents in the Retribution spec will be capped, I will only point out the ones you shouldn't train.
1. Guardian's Favor. This talent improves your melee bubble and your Hand of Salvation. It's clearly a PvP talent, useless in PvE.
2. Selfless Healer. This talent improves the healing done by your Word of Glory on other players. You probably won't be even using this heal effect on yourself, so don't spend any points in this talent.
3. Acts of Sacrifice. This talent reduces the cost of your Hand of Freedom, Sacrifice and Salvation by 10% and also improve your Cleanse effect. But since Cleanse isn't your job in a raid, and you won't use "your hands" too much, this talent isn't useful.
Now, if you train 32 points in Retribution, excluding the talents I just mentioned, you will remain with 9 more points. In the following part of this Paladin guide, I'm going to tell you which talents you should train from the other talent trees and why.
From the Holy tree:
1. Arbiter of the Light - to improve your Templar's Verdict and Judgement, two abilities that you're going to use frequently as a Retribution Paladin.
2. Judgements of the Pure - to increase your melee haste by 9% and mana regeneration by 30%.
3. Blazing Light - to improve your Exorcism by 20%.
From the Protection tree:
Seals of the Pure - to boost the damage of your Seal of Justice, Seal of Righteousness and Seal of Truth by 12%.
That's about it when it comes to a decent (maybe the best) Paladin spec. However to complete the build of a WoW class, you must select the right glyphs. Therefore, I would like to end this short Paladin guide with a few tips regarding the glyphs that you should use for PvE DPS.
These are:
Prime Glyphs: Glyph of Crusader Strike, Glyphs of Judgement, Glyph of Templar's Verdict.
As you can see, all these glyphs improve your main damaging abilities.
Major Glyphs: Glyph of Ascetic Crusader, Glyph of Rebuke, Glyph of Hammer of Wrath.
Minor Glyphs: Glyph of Truth, Glyph of Righteousness, Glyph of Insight.
I hope this Paladin Guide helps.
